I'm not new to ball pythons, but I want to start breeding them in the next year or two. I'm not exactly sure of what to start with. Maybe it would help to know that i would love to produce piebalds(like everyone, i know), bumblebees, pastel clowns, superpastels, and especially lavender albinos. I am in love with lavender albinos. Some help with genetics, anyone who breeds these morphs, or knows of a reliable person to purchase hets from, would be very awesome. Please note that I am a college student on a limited budget, and for this reason hets sound the most appealing to me I know most of the morphs are total investments, but I'm looking at an entry level sort of thing

Well first off, most ball pythons are by no mean an investment. Odds are you probably won't make back anything near what it takes to add to and maintain your collection, so don't be making any plans to make serious dough on this.
If I were you, I'd start off with base morphs in order to make your bees, killer bees, supers and the like. For that you'd need some spiders and some pastels. Lavender hets are pretty spendy for me, but then again I'm only 16 years old. I don't know what your budget is but stay within it and expand slowly and give it time to make sure you actually like this hobby. Let us know what you end up getting. Good luck!
